Lisa Curbow has experience in many areas of the dental office, from assistant to office manager to dental hygienist. She loves helping patients achieve maximum oral health but has taken a special interest in special needs patients. This stems from raising a son who’s on the spectrum.

Learning about her son’s needs has helped her be more empathetic toward patients with sensory needs to make their experience at the dentist more pleasant. Lisa talks about some of her success stories, and she wants to share what she’s learned about her patients in order to help her peers.

Tune in to learn more about this month's Clinical Recognition winner, and how her tips can apply to the special needs patients in your practice.
